塔羅

“塔羅” is one of my larger conceptual experiments. Tarot is familiar to many people and songs sometimes mention fate, cards or a single famous image, but I rarely see a full song genuinely structured around all twenty-two Major Arcana. I therefore did not want to write something as simple as drawing The Lovers and turning it into a romance. I wanted the Major Arcana themselves to become the journey—from The Fool through The Magician, The High Priestess, The Emperor, The Lovers, The Chariot, Death, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun and finally The World, with each card carrying a different symbolic stage. To me, those twenty-two images can already be read as a complete human journey containing beginnings, choices, conflict, loss, reconstruction and completion. The song therefore interests me not only because of divination, but because it translates a system people normally understand visually into something that can be remembered through sound. That is one of the creative methods I enjoy most: taking material that does not normally belong inside a pop song, breaking it apart seriously, and rebuilding it as music rather than using it only as decoration.
